That is difficult. I have not used mine too much yet. Try moving the camera. The depth of field is very small when using these. Practice will work for both of us.

You must be very close to the object, like almost touching it to be in focus.

If you're having difficulty focusing, it is probably because you're outside the range over which your arrangement can focus. The use of an extension tube severely restricts the range over which you can bring the system into focus. If you experiment by moving the camera closer to and farther away from your subject, you'll find a place where it is in focus. Then you can move a little forward and/or back and find the setting you like.

Hi Michael, for some reason I've returned this item...Not because of having any trouble! I've decided to but real macro lens instead of using something like that just because of quality of the image with the Nikon macro lenses. Sorry

What kind of lens are you using you may have to set the back focus. Or since this is a cheap adaptor it may be too thick for your camera

Goof product, but wrong direction... this extends your len's focal length, but you want to shoot macro or shorter focal lengths, which requires (simpler) macro tubes. Some preserve autofocus, some don't, but all work. Lighting is key. Normal flashes will do poorly on a macro shot. Consider an LED ring light, or use a (chilled) pane of glass with bounce lighting or light from behind.

Hi Marc,Sorry, I have not even been able to use mine since it arrived broken, andfotodiox was unable to help me.But, have you tried extra lighting fromdifferent angles? This usually helps.

I as well have a focus problem, I have to bump the zoom a bit when I first start the camera. Not aware of any solutions and am looking for a warranty fix.

Put the camera in rapid fire, manual focus, out the trigger in bulb... hit it once and the shutter will stay engaged. That might work.

Can you describe the conditions and the camera settings in which you usually see this? Are you shooting long bursts? In low light? What memory card are you using? Have you tried a different one? Have you reformated the memory card in the camera recently? Are you shooting jpeg, RAW or both?

Another thing occurred to me about what might be causing your blurry, fuzzy pictures. Make sure that you are at least about 7 feet from what you are trying to focus on at the long end, and about 3 1/2 feet from your subject at the short end in "normal" mode. If you are closer than that the camera won't achieve focus. If you change to "macro" mode you can get focus as close as about 2 inches at the short (28mm) end, and as close as about 3 1/2 feet at the long (280mm) end.

There was an update released a while back for the focusing problem. It has been resolved. BTW: Get the MKIII's full frame.

Sorry, I haven't had this problem. I think I remember it's best to focus from a normal angle to assure good focus zooming in. I presume you are also careful to center the image on the subject you want sharp. Ther might also be a setting to tell the camera how to handle close up shots. There may be levels orb types if selectivity possible. Depth of field is more critical in telephoto so it doesn't take much to throw it off. Sorry I don't have the camera or manual handy.

I can tell you I use AF-S 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR Nikkor Zoom Lens. It does work for light levels but of course you can't use autofocus with extension tubes. You focus with the zoom.

If you are using the macro lens that came with this kit, you will only be able to focus on objects no more than a couple of inches away from your camera. Put your focus on manual to adjust.

Its a macro lens. Try getting as close as posible , you almost have to be touching the object with the lens for it to focus

Turn it off and back on. If there is dirt in the lens mechanism this will cause the error.

Hi, I have a Nikon d3100 and this thing was so hard to have it work. besides that you have to manually set the F number before you take the lens off to attach the tube. it was a hustle and had poor quality. I ended up getting one that was around 50 bucks,my advice? save up and get the one that can auto focus

I am Sorry i forget to Include this Information with My Response! Be Sure to Include a f-Stop Increase to being thing into Focus Also! This is Very Important Too! It is Something You Have To Experiment with to get Correct! Not Hard to Do, Just Use Live View on your Camera and Play with it from there! This Aspect is Very Tricky for Focusing and Experience will be Needed to some degree!

I have the same problem and mine miss focuses too. I have contacted Nikon, but I'm still waiting for a reply. I'm curious if this lens is a waste of money? Did you guys ever find out what was wrong?
